HTLP metamorphism and fluid-fluxed melting during multi-stage anatexis of continental crust (N Sardinia, Italy) [PDF]
The Variscan high-grade metamorphic basement of northern Sardinia and southern Corsica record lower Carboniferous anatexis related to post-collisional decompression of the orogen. Migmatites exposed in the Punta Bianca locality (Italy) consist of quartz +

Protracted Thermal Evolution of a Migmatitic Terrane as Revealed by Multiple Geochronometers From the Retro-Arc of the Early Paleozoic Famatinian Orogen in NW Argentina [PDF]
U-Pb dates of zircon, monazite, and titanite combined with trace element composition, allows characterization of the thermal evolution of the migmatitic Agua del Sapo complex.

Abstract Two eclogite samples from the Haut‐Allier record a prograde evolution from ~20 kbar, 650°C to 750°C, 22–23 kbar followed by heating up to 850–875°C and partial melting. Incipient decompression in high‐pressure granulite facies conditions (19.5 kbar, 875°C) was followed by exhumation to high‐temperature amphibolite facies conditions (<9 kbar ...

Abstract The Barrovian metamorphism of the Lepontine dome is manifested by isograds that cross‐cut tectonic nappe contacts, which is commonly interpreted as metamorphism that occurred after nappe emplacement. However, the pervasive mineral and stretching lineation in amphibolite facies, associated with top‐to‐foreland shearing, suggests that peak ...

Abstract The Coompana Province, located between the three cratonic blocks of Australia, is significant for understanding the Proterozoic assembly of the continent. However, the basement rocks are completely covered and poorly understood, and as a result reconstructions are poorly constrained.

Tracing the Sveconorwegian orogen into the Caledonides of West Norway: Geochronological and isotopic studies on magmatism and migmatization [PDF]
The Sveconorwegian orogen represents a branch of Grenville-age (~1250–950 Ma) orogenic belts that formed during the construction of the supercontinent Rodinia.

Three-dimensional field perspective on deformation, flow, and growth of the lower continental crust (Dharwar craton, India [PDF]
The study of fabric development and juvenile batholith emplacement across the tilted crustal section of the Eastern Dharwar craton shows that horizontal, constrictional deformation affected large volumes of the midcrust and lower crust at the time of ...

Primary crustal melt compositions: Insights into the controls, mechanisms and timing of generation from kinetics experiments and melt inclusions [PDF]
We explore the controls, mechanisms and timing of generation of primary melts and their compositions, and show that the novel studies of melt inclusions in migmatites can provide important insights into the processes of crustal anatexis of a particular ...

Structure and metamorphism of the Cushamen Complex in Sañicó and Collón Curá-limay rivers confluence: A Devonian metamorphic event related to the subduction stage of the Gondwanan Patagonian orogen [PDF]
In the North Patagonian Andes and western North Patagonian Massif, the Cushamen Complex is still a matter of interest in order to unravel the Paleozoic evolution of southwestern Gondwana margin.
